Transfering fish

[tehpineapple]

I am getting ready to empty and sell one of my two tanks. The one I'm selling has a watchman goby, 2 Clarkii Clowns, an emerald crab and an assortment of hermits and snails. What I'm worried about is that my 10000K light burnt out in the destination tank and the new one won't arrive until Monday. It has been running with just the blue light for the past 3 days. Would it be safe to transfer my livestock to the tank with just the blue light if only for a few days? I have no corals yet.

I should mention that the destination tank only has 4 nasarrius, 2 other snails (not sure what they are) and 6 hermits. It is a 30 gallon tank.

they'll be fine with only blue light if there's no coral in the tank. i don't even have any light on the plastic tubs that i'm doing tank transfer treatment.

Not an issue even if for 4 or 5 days. Coral is a different issue :bigeyes:

You could always put a desk lamp next to it so you can see what's going on
